Everything I LIKE and DISLIKE about the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy

- In this video I discuss my likes and dislikes about the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD. Over my week with the Hyundai Santa Fe, I was able to drive it through a variety of conditions and overall was very impressed. The powertrain isn't what you would expect from a midsize SUV and is rather sporty with tons of power. The ride quality, although soft, is still competent and fun to hustle around turns. It was tough to find many things I didn't like about the Santa Fe overall. I would highly recommend this generation as a midsize, two row SUV. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Love your review. They are detailed and yet simple.
I updated from a 2018 Ultimate to this 2023 Calligraphy. I am so happy. The tech is amazing. Yes, actual buttons is the way to go. Have a friend with a new BMW which 99% of the features are changed via the Screen. Not a safe thing when your driving.
The engine is fast and no lag. I have 8k miles with 3 road trips done so far....and its a great SUV. Drives smooth and quiet.
I am also glad that I upgraded, because the 2024 is not not for me. I am more of the traditional looking SUV with importance on comfort.
They 2024 is rugged and is about storage and the outdoors. Again, not me. So this 2023 Calligraphy is perfect for me. And since i have planned to pay it off and keep it for a long while, it really works for me.
Again, thank you for the review.
Definitely agree about the 2024. That look is not for me. I love my 2023!
Great review and I agree with everything you said! I would like to add that I really don’t like the push button shifter. There have been times when I think I’ve pushed it and it didn’t take for whatever reason and that can be dangerous. Also, the automatic braking can be a pain too when you’re speeding up to pass someone and it starts screaming and preparing to brake. I know that I can turn that feature off but then I think it may be necessary some day so I leave it on.
Really good review, all valid points. I've owned my 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy for 2 weeks, 1,400 miles. I have seen mileage vary from 13mpg diving like an ass, to 31mpg steady 55mph on backroads, 25mpg average overall. I really enjoy the acceleration, count how many slower drivers I've passed at this point.
I'm going to pad my door armrest to soften and level it, only thing I'm needing to address. I'm very happy with my purchase, zero regrets. Thanks for taking the time to make this very accurate and fair video!
Hi, what’s the out of the door price you got this vehicle, are there any markups ?
@sudheervrudra6945 I used Costco auto program. No negotiating, $1,000 under msrp plus $2,500 rebate incentive from Hyundai. Pay minimum $10,000 loan off in 3 months, lose about $100 in interest. I suffer massive taxation in Washington state of almost 11% plus light rail transit tax. Out the door just under $49,000. The car was $42,???, $3,500 below msrp.
Hi, I'm interested in getting the armrest pad for my 2023 Santa Fe calligraphy as well. Could you please let me know how or where I can obtain this pad?
@@samuelofosuhene250 I haven't found one yet. Please let me know if you find a solution.
I have a 2023 mid level Santa Fe without the turbo engine and have been averaging over 29 mpg in city and as high as 38 mpg over a section of our last trip. We averaged 32.2 mpg for the full trip.
I've owned this same vehicle since January. The performance and imbedded technology is awesome. I too don't find the stereo as immersive. A separate big bass speaker is needed. It's not an off roader to be sure, but it will get me to Home Depot in snowy weather in comfort.
Hey Jim, what about how the turbo with the wet dual clutch performs at slow speeds, like crawling along in stop-n-go traffic. I see a lot of reviews that say it is very jerky and unpleasant. How many miles on yours now and any issues, recalls, updates to your transmission?
@@ofcbob6391 Yes, the transmission is not the most pleasant, it's my biggest complaint. Maybe driving in sport mode would soften the issue but at reduced fuel economy. The radio buttons respond slow too, odd frankly. The power of the 2.5 turbo is awesome.
@@jimsmith8324 Yeah, the turbo engine itself is pretty nice, altho it would be nice if you could get 25-27 mpg on a regular basis. But if the transmission is herky jerky, I would probably really regret getting it. I was this close to going out to look at a used 2021 Limited with a boatload of neat options but after that wow factor settles down, I'm still driving an unpleasant transmission. I was going to trade in my 22 Rogue, which is super quiet and smooth as butter.
Nice job, but really confused with your dislike of the 2023 Calligraphy Harmon/Kardon premium audio system. I have a 2022 and the system can be incredibly loud and I have had to actually turn down the bass. Previously, I had a 2014 with Bose premium audio, which was very good, but have to say the Harmon/Kardon is even better.
Would like to see a comparison between this and a Kia Sorento
I was considering the Tucson Hybrid Limited, & I love the Santa Fe Calligraphy interior more because it has physical buttons & knobs instead of that gloss black touch panel the Tucson Limited trim comes with. The base trims of the Tucson actually have volume & time rolling wheels & temperature toggles with the smaller 8" screen which they should implement with the 10.25" screen
Absolutely agree!
I have the 2023 limited with the 2.5 turbo, I've been getting 26 mpg around town, which i was pleased with.
Hey Ellen, what about how the turbo with the wet dual clutch performs at slow speeds, like crawling along in stop-n-go traffic. I see a lot of reviews that say it is very jerky and unpleasant. How many miles on yours now and any issues, recalls, updates to your transmission?
drove this car yesterday and totally loved it but I'm worried about the transmission as this is going to be my last vehicle for a long time, any thoughts?
Hyundai's warranty is very competitive so I wouldn't be too worried. If this is still a concern, I would check out the Hybrid Santa Fe.
If you're concerned about reliability, get a Toyota.
Hyundai has improved the engines in their latest vehicles, especially the 2023 Santa Fe. This Santa Fe is just as reliable as Hondas (Passport, CRV) and Toyotas (RAV 4)
I have had this 2023 Calligraphy since January and so far no issues with the DCT. I also was concerned, but as long as I have a warranty, its covered.
They have less warranty @@jimsmith8324
Charger to close to drink tray imo
I actually wish the wireless charging pad was flat instead of vertical so you could charge up your wireless earbuds through the case on the pad. I have AirPods Pro (2nd gen) so I doubt the case would stay put on the vertical charging pad. Since this car doesn't have wireless CarPlay & Android Auto & it usually makes your phone warm so it's better for your Qi compatible earbuds case to rest there & charge up since you need to plug in your phone (unless you get an adapter for wireless CarPlay & Android Auto)
Thanks.....👍
Awesome review
Thank you!
The Santa Fe is better than the Palisade. The fact that it’s been around since 2001 makes it a more reliable than any Hyundai line up. I believe the Santa Fe is reliable just like the RAV4 and CRV. Hyundai should focus on building reliable automobiles rather than focusing on luxury.
I almost bought one but no spare tire was a deal breaker for me. Plus, other vehicles that are similar had more features for less money.
I'm not sure what midsize, 2 row SUV would have more features for the money outside of the Kia Sorento.
This Calligraphy has a spare tire under the vehicle...
@justinjarboe6669 That is not correct. The spare tire is located under the floor of the vehicle if equipped. The Limited and Calligraphy AWD models do not have a spare tire.
@@stoptheinsanity I was replying to the other comment but it didn't add the tag.
@@CarsMadeSimple I own the 2023 Santa fe calligraphy. It is under the vehicle.
Dislikes: no spare tire, and phone gets hot when charging in the phone charger slot.
The spare tire is under the vehicle like a truck.
@@justinjarboe6669 No, the 2023 AWD Calligraphy does not come with a spare tire. Hyundai removed it from the AWD models to save weight.
@@cecilezimmer8773 Yeah I didn’t realize it’s on the 2023 FWD Calligraphy and not the AWD. Interesting.
Yea, it’s a bummer. They give us a “mobility kit” instead of a spare tire! I don’t like that, and I will make sure that my next car has a real spare tire.
My phone also gets so hot it feels like it could melt
🖖🤘🤙
Indeed!
Wireless charger sucks! I put my phone in, get it working, then when I hit the first bump, it throws the phone just enough to turn off the charging.
This looks so dated compared to the '24s.
Nonsense.
The 24's are UGLY
If you are comparing it to the 2024, I much prefer the look of the 2023. I think they ruined the 2024, IN my Opinion, it is truly ugly.
The 2024 is ugly and boxy. 2023 is leaps and bounds ahead of the 2024 in the looks department
